I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Bristol, Inglaterra) in Aug 2015
Interview
Very formal online interview. Part one was a virtual interview where you have to speak on a number of work related topics by answering a pre-set list of questions. The web interview was done through some E-Interview site which is quite impersonal as you are just talking to a webcam with nobody on the other side. Candidates' recorded interviews are then watched on the other end to determine suitability.

Question 1
What was a time where you led a team through a complex problem
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Londres, Inglaterra) in Oct 2015
Interview
Starts with an online application with general questions around job motivation, why Grant Thornton and why the specific area. Next was a video interview followed by a follow-up telephone interview to discuss a few ideas further that were brought up in the video interview.
After passing these I was invited to an assessment centre. This involved a group exercise, lunch with recent trainees, a pre-client meeting discussing a case study and a one-on-one interview.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Grant Thornton (Atlanta, GA) in Nov 2015
Interview
The process is very laid back. The interviewers are looking to see if you fit not only with the job, but with the overall culture. Relax, be honest, and smile.
The typical interview questions are also part of the process. Know your answers to those questions, and know more than just soundbites about the company.
